Hey Soul Sista Podcast

“I believe in giving women a voice. Got Your Back Sista gives women a voice, and Hey Soul Sista podcast gives women a voice.

The Hey Soul Sista Podcast is another channel to give women a voice that needs to be heard and providing inspiration and life learnings to their sistas listening.” – Melissa Histon

Nell Dark-Jones Celebrant

Celebrant - MC - Voiceover Artist - Community Ally....and then some!

Want to know more about Nell's celebrancy style and personality vibes? Good, cause we made a highlight list for your viewing pleasure.

Nell is:-

young(ish), vibrant, creative, professional (i.e. will wait until after your ceremony to steal your beers)
weirdly drawn to paperwork and wordy stuff
humour-driven, smiles for days, genuine, open-minded, warm, but probably won’t hug you #notahugger
an avid skull admirer, burger eater, beer consumer, cheese fiend and mad baker
full of personality, marches to the beat of her own drum, and has distinct personal style (hope you like black)
steadfastly refuses to rely on boring recycled wedding templates and voice scripts
kicks run-of-the-mill going-through-the-motions ceremonies to the curb
a prolific over-user of hyphens, brackets and bullet points

100% uniquely openly herself whilst 100% all about you - every ceremony Nell gets her blackhearted little hands on is tailored to each individual couple's personalities, needs and wants - whatever that looks, sounds and feels like - go your own way, all the way.

Pearl Davies Photography

Every woman of every age, size, shape and color possesses the timeless power of one-of-a-kind sensuality and beauty.

For most of our lives we have allowed society, we have allowed friends, family and partners to dictate how we feel about our bodies. We’ve shamed ourselves for gaining weight, for losing weight, for having bewbies that are too big or too small, stretch marks (that I like to call beauty marks), wrinkles, beer bellies… all the fun stuff! Just because we grow older, we have children, families, spouses and careers this doesn't mean that our feminine side and the want to treat ourselves disappears. We continuously talk ourselves down and all this instead of embracing who we are NOW and loving the skin we are in TODAY. It’s safe to say that the act of love heals more than the act of hate, and that has never been more direct then when it’s within out own bodies.

I’m here to empower you to love yourself just a little bit more. Whether that's taking the leap into self love for the first time, OR walking with you as you continue your journey.

I’ve created all sorts of packages to satisfy every budget. Also, this is a safe love zone. I do not discriminate based on race, religion, body shape, gender… or what ever other box you’ve been put in to. I’m just here to make you feel sexy and beautiful.

My Photography Services are offered in Newcastle NSW Australia and Sydney Australia. I travel once a year to the United States and also have all Australian capitals as well as New Zealand on my sights. I offer a range of photographic services for a variety of occasions. Sessions are currently offered at PD HQ here in Newcastle Australia, at your home or on location.
